The HCR Group appoints Chad Bystedt as CFO to support growth and expansion of its commercial roofing platform across the Western U.S.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The HCR Group, which launched its unified commercial roofing platform across the Western United States last month, has announced the appointment of Chad Bystedt as Chief Financial Officer. The addition of Bystedt strengthens the company's executive leadership team as it continues to scale its operations and advance its disciplined long-term growth.
Bystedt brings more than 20 years of finance and accounting leadership experience, most recently serving as CFO of Cirks Construction (dba KDC Construction), where he led financial strategy for a multi-market construction business for more than a decade. His background includes experience across construction, SaaS, and manufacturing, as well as early career experience at Deloitte supporting organizations in the U.S. and internationally. He holds a B.S. in Accounting from the University of Southern California and an MBA from the University of Melbourne.
"Chad's experience and leadership are a strong fit for The HCR Group," said Mike Erekson, Chief Executive Officer. "His ability to build scalable financial infrastructure and support thoughtful expansion will be critical as we continue to grow."
The appointment follows the formation of The HCR Group, a unified commercial roofing platform created to bring together high-performing regional companies across the Western United States while preserving the local leadership, culture, and customer relationships that define each business. The platform was designed to support local teams through shared resources that strengthen safety, consistency, and collaboration.
The HCR Group is comprised of established commercial roofing companies including Highland Commercial Roofing, Skycraft Roofing, Fidelity Roof Company, and Northwest Roofing, each of which continues to operate locally with support from the broader platform. Led by Erekson, a construction industry veteran with more than two decades of experience building and leading high-performing service organizations, The HCR Group was created with a clear vision: to be the Best Partner of Choice in commercial roofing for employees, customers, and partners across the Western United States.
The HCR Group empowers each of its companies to grow independently while leveraging the strength, stability, and support of a larger organization, providing a comprehensive range of commercial roofing solutions—including TPO, PVC, coatings, steep-slope, metal systems, and long-term maintenance—customized to meet the demands of each unique market.
"We built The HCR Group with intention," said Erekson. "This platform is about raising standards in the industry; creating a strong, safety-focused organization that supports great local teams and delivers consistent, high-quality results for customers. Chad's leadership strengthens our ability to execute on that vision."
